"At one point in future, every user will just expect that applications
support this, no need to restate that in every single handbook." ->
How do you *really* know that "every user" will be well-acquainted by
default? I am sure that is not going to happen as the time continously
tells that users need as much help as possible. If there is any
feature related to the project, it should be documented in my opinion.

Like I wrote in my previous email, there is quite a few generic
features already documented (again, one typical is the shortcuts, but
one could say ghns/kns et al), and I do not see the point of breaking
that. I really like the self-containment. Will 1-2 lines for a feature
bother anybody now if it had not been like that for years? :-)
